Subject: farm jobs
Occasion early to mid 1900s where latino immigrants were basically forced to work on farms in the southwest because no other place would hire them and they worked extremely long hours for pennies a day.
Audience: the farmers hiring the workers
Purpose: to convince the farmers to give the workers more for what they do
Tone: hopeful and wishful
Meaning is that we need to help the poor and weak to be even with everyone. I say this is the meaning because the painter was a huge proponent of the communist party in Mexico and because the man on the right is kind of crushed and defeated.
